AlphaZero cannot chat and interact outside moving pieces. For science, self-training would be too wasteful, intractable and impossible to boot, given there's no simulator.
An AlphaZero for science would instead be like the recent deepmind paper where the pattern matching capabilities and internal features of a neural network were used to navigate some domain's decision space of conjecture formation and testing.
